2019 Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet Referts

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a subtle, nuanced bouquet of apple blossom and wet limestone aromas infused with touches of yellow flowers. The palate is well balanced, displaying a fine bead of acidity, and rounded on the entry, offering light passion fruit and dried mango notes. This segues into a more spicy final third and a fine saline finish. Enjoy over the next 12–15 years. 92-94 points

Fresh lemon and lime, this dances on the palate perhaps because I am tasting it after two weighty Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots. Super balance here, some lime-blossom mixing in with fully ripe fruit, but there’s an essential elegance, which I like and is frequently missing in Puligny in 2019. 92-95 points

Notes of pear, hazelnuts, white flowers, yellow apple and buttered toast introduce the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, layered and textural wine that`s mineral and incisive, with bright acids and a saline finish. This is promising. 91-93+ points
